This is officially written as "'''Trainer'''" starting with a capital letter. However, in some early official media, it was written in lowercase as "'''trainer'''" instead. For instance: ''"You've been finally granted your Pokémon '''trainer'''<nowiki/>'s license. Now it's time to to become the world's greatest Pokémon '''trainer'''!'' (written on the back of the boxes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}) | |||

Many Trainers leave home, sometimes accompanied with a [[ | Many Trainers leave home, sometimes accompanied with a [[first partner Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon Professor]], to travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow—when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a {{pkmn|battle}}. | ||
Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[#Trainer class|classes]]: {{tc|Youngster}}s tend to stay close to home, and {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; {{tc|Hiker}}s traverse mountains and [[cave]]s, {{tc|Fisherman|Fishermen}} are rarely far from water, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their [[Type expert|favorite type]], the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even within each class, Trainers may vary greatly. | Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[#Trainer class|classes]]: {{tc|Youngster}}s tend to stay close to home, and {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; {{tc|Hiker}}s traverse mountains and [[cave]]s, {{tc|Fisherman|Fishermen}} are rarely far from water, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]].

While the viability of [[Pokémon training]] as a lifestyle is never outright stated in most games, it is implied in {{g|Sun and Moon}} that it does not guarantee a sufficient income. Several [[Eevee users]] are seen having to take up part-time jobs in order to obtain the finances needed to support themselves, with the latter being unable to go into retirement using just the funds from Pokémon training. | While the viability of [[Pokémon training]] as a lifestyle is never outright stated in most games, it is implied in {{g|Sun and Moon}} that it does not guarantee a sufficient income.

During the time period in which {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is set, the term "Pokémon Trainer" was not in use, though a few people at the time still kept, trained, cared for, and battled with Pokémon as partners. The phrase "Pokémon wielder" or "wielder of Pokémon" is used by [[Volo]] to describe himself and the player (though no other contemporaneous character uses the term) and in [[Raifort]]'s explanation about the [[treasures of ruin]]; the same Japanese phrase has also been translated as "Pokémon user" or "user of Pokémon" in past games going back to {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. | |||

In the introduction of [[Pokémon Play It!]] and [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]], {{OBP|Julie|Play It!}} says that she and the [[player character]] are Pokémon Trainers. However, they play the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} rather than train Pokémon. In the lesson "What's a Trainer card?", Julie mentions that [[Bill]] is a Trainer as well. | |||
